Cabin: A Guide to Building the Perfect Getaway

by Matthew D. Kirchhoff, David Stiles, Jeanie Stiles

If you dream of building a simple getaway cabin, here is a must-have for your bookshelf. CABIN covers important topics that are often overlooked in conventional ‘how to’ books. In place of the standard detailed plans, the authors show you how to design and build a cabin that suits your particular needs and budget, and how to avoid costly mistakes along the way. They explain how to find the land for your cabin, and give practical construction tips for do-it-yourselfers. The book includes 30 short, often humorous lessons-learned from their own long experience of building and living in simple cabins (some remote and off-grid). With this as a guide, anyone can get started building a getaway cabin that’s easy, affordable, and richly rewarding.

Cabin: A Guide to Building the Perfect Getaway is a delight. It goes down like a creek-chilled beer after a hard day cutting boards and pounding nails. Kirchhoff informs and entertains with an easy, conversational tone that leaves me yearning for the quiet of my own backwoods cabin.
